The New Ross Boat Club had their 21st annual regatta in July of 1898 according to the Freeman's Journal newspaper.

Megazoom - the inscription on the jug on the bottom step says 'Challenge Cup' which is odd because it's the only trophy which isn't a cup. Below that there's a year. It's not clear but I'd hazard a guess at 1893 or 1895.

There's a photo of what I assume is Waterford Boat Club (despite the title) given their jackets here with what looks like the same Challenge Cup at the bottom, though turned the other way.

It was deciphered as the Harbour Commissioners Challenge Cup, when it appeared before:

National Library of Ireland on The Commons Many Thanks for uploading this! There appears to be no 'hand' logo on the chainwheel of the Rudge-Whitworth bicycle on the left, but it appears on the pair of small trophies! Definitely something funny about their faces, the eyes especially!? There was a Rudge-Whitworth dealership at 1, Stephen's Green North, in Dublin.

Actually, the Rudge-Whitworth dealership in Waterford was in Henrietta Street!!

Mike And here is that very dealership, by appointment to HRH The Prince of Wales...

National Library of Ireland on The Commons There was a motorcyle/bicycle dealer called W.F.Peare in Henrietta Street, who appeared to occupy this premises- www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/5735786427/ , as shown in your photostream, shortly after your bicycle photos were taken! They sold other makes of bicycles than Rudge-Whitworth, though! Could it be possible that Mr. Keane is in fact Mr. Peare!?

Thanks for sharing !!
